Boston: Eating eggs is good or bad for the heart? This debate has been going on for decades. Now American scientists have said that eating eggs may have some benefits and may also have an effect on the heart.

According to scientists at Boston University, eating five eggs a week can help lower blood pressure, help control blood glucose, which can inevitably benefit the heart.

Nutritionists, on the other hand, have called for more research and long-term effects studies, and that's why they're calling eggs neither harmful nor beneficial. The effect of this is that it will only improve if the egg consumption rate is kept low.

We already know that eggs contain protein, benefits like vitamin D, and contain choline. But eggs can cause narrowing of blood vessels. The benefits of eggs now revealed are indirect rather than direct. The exact same position is taken by the cautious experts i.e. one egg per day and that too without yolk.

In this study, scientists looked at a 1971 survey of 5,000 adults. Follow-up of this study is done every four years. In summary, those who ate five or more eggs per week had slightly normal blood pressure and lower-than-average fasting blood sugar. In this way, the risk of diabetes is reduced and silent diseases like blood pressure are also kept at bay.

The study involved 30- to 64-year-olds who subsequently kept food and drink records every three days from 1983 to 1995. Among them, those who ate more eggs for a long time did not have high blood pressure or increased blood glucose levels.

However, critics say that the study found that eating eggs may also increase blood fat and cholesterol, which is also a sign of heart disease.
